I so hope the Bears trade Andy Dalton

[vanavyman]

Dalton is better than several starters in the NFL. Pittsburg QBs all suck. They might be a play off team with a healthy Dalton. Draft pick for Dalton would be nice but it sounds like the Bears want him long term as their backup.

As I see it right now, Dalton is a dink and dunk game manager professional QB on a Teddy Bridgewater level. Serviceable if your team is set up that way. Fields is different. He is a field stretcher (as evidenced by his dime balls deep that Detroit was allowing and the Rams were not). Dalton will never be the drive the ball deep out routes down the field (that aren't wide open) type QB. As long as a O coordinator, not named Nagy, can adjust a game plan if something happens to Fields, then Dalton could do fine.

Multiple teams would give up a draft pick or picks for A.Dalton.

Like who? Why hasn’t he been traded yet then?

Dalton is a classy guy whom I definitely think got a bit of a raw deal (as did Nick Foles, if I'm honest). The Bears will be lucky to hold onto either one of them as a backup, though I can completely understand why they might lose them both.

Maybe, maybe not. How's his deep ball and finding time to throw it? Fields managed to not throw a pick against Cleveland. I have never seen Andy in a game with that much pressure and not giving one up.

So you don't think Dalton has ever completed a long ball without pressure on him? Fields didn't have much pressure on him on all his long balls either though.

Ok, dumbest poster on the board.

Ummmmmmm did you hear some inside info that they're trying to trade him? You do know they would have to want to trade him to actually trade him right? I wouldn't doubt if they wanna keep him as long as he's good with staying and backing up Fields which it sounds like he is.

Only 1 team might be slightly interested in Dalton based on injury to the starter and that’s Dallas.

Or some fans on CCS are dumber than they think they are when it comes to the inner parts of the game that they know nothing about.....Hmmmmmmmmmm.

Prescott is not injured.

I think this actually worked out for the best. Nagy got play calling pulled from him early enough in the season with Fields now the starter that we can evaluate Fields without the excuse of Nagy is ruining him and with an OC that seems committed to putting him in the best situations to excel. So he will sink or swim without any built in excuses outside of the OL which I am sure is going to be blamed now anytime he struggles.

The nice thing with blocking, it is much easier to see if the problem was poor play by the linemen, poor protections called by the coach, lack of awareness by the QB or just a defensive player beating the offensive player over trying to figure out if a bad pass was on the QB or the WR.

Yes, we may get some of the problems wrongly diagnosed, but blocking has a much better chance of laying the blame where it belongs than other aspects of an offense.

I haven’t personally heard anything, have you? You are the one who said multiple teams would trade for him.

Check please

I’d rather have Dalton as the backup than Foles.

Pittsburg and Miami are two teams that come to mind. If the 49ers think Lance is not ready and Jimmy is going to be gone for a while, 49ers would be a third team.

Just look for teams with a good defense who thinks (maybe incorrectly, but that is ok) that it could actually do something with a QB better than the crap that is currently on its team.

The season is early enough that most of the teams still dream of making the playoffs.

Add Trubisky to the list of QBs that got a raw deal for ending up with Nagy.

Prescott is not injured.

Welcome to 2020?

You asked why he hasn't been traded yet so somehow didn't understand that they would have to want to trade him for him to actually get traded.

You can't afford this check so you'll be washing dishes to pay for this info.

Because nobody said that?
Here's some reference material for you.

Metrics that Matter: Andy Dalton struggles under pressure

The QB hasn't been as good under pressure over his career, and now has a worse offensive line. Scott Barrett on the impact.

He's worse than average under pressure and anyone with a modicum of football IQ is aware of it.

"Raw deal" in that no one expected either Jones or Fields to drop down to the draft picks where the Bears could pick one of those two up. In fact, I'm still rather shocked.

As far as Foles? He had a shot to regain his magic from the SB a few years back and well, it didn't pan out. That's a bit on him.
